Covering a wide range of topics in research in AVT, and admittedly questioning "whether a universal methodology for audiovisual translation research is feasible", this volume theorises about the nature of AVT, helps to frame some of the current trends, and points to potentially new research avenues. The style is reader friendly and to the point; a most welcome addition to translation studies."
